I'm a beginner with Excel so this may be a simple problem. I'm trying to
count various items to give me a total of how many I have of each type
that
I have purchased over the years,

Example:

Type: Value
Dime $10.
Penny $25.
Dime $20.
Half $10.
Penny $15.
Penny $15.
Dime $10.
Half $50.
Nickel $5.00

Number of Dimes 3 Total Value $40.
Number of Pennies 3 Total Value $55.
Numer of Halfs 2 Total Value $60.
Number of Niclels 1 Total Value $5.

I want to count each item, Dime, Penny, Half and Nickels to show me home
many of each I have and the total value of each catagory.

Thank you in advance for your help!
